No contest- Friday night wins hands down every time.
As someone else said it's an excellent way to start the weekend with a good game of RL and a few beers in the process as well.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Night for me too. It's nice for the occassional game but I think the atmosphere suffers too much. When the sun is shining everyone feels they should just be sitting back soaking in the rays rather than getting involved!

Yeah Friday night everytime.
Only matches with Saints in the afternoon can generate atmosphere.

Friday night matches every time.
Better atmosphere, chat and a drink afterwards then home with the whole weekend ahead.

I've always preferred the 'enclosed' atmosphere you get with night games.
But.. Friday night matches aren't practical for taking a youngster to. Our son is now eight and we've struggled taking him to the few games in a season that he'd stay awake for. He sees more away games than home games.
Consequently it's a constant battle to keep him turned away from soccer - peer pressure at school.
My worry is that there could be a fall off in support if the game isn't readily accessible to kids at an early age. A few more afternoon, or better still, early evening weekend kick offs would certainly get my vote.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

I prefer Sunday afternoons, less of a hassle to get home as people let you in/out of ques unlike Friday nights were every inch matters when in traffic, plus its less tense and less idiots.

Prefer Friday nights, 3pms are ok at away matches but the DW atmosphere is dead at the best of times, on a sunday with the sun shining down i think people are just to relaxed to bother.

| Definitely night matches. After the games yesterday I was knackered after being used to getting home usually from the match at around 11pm and going straight to bed  |

Definately agree with this... the atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon at away games is always pretty good but is always a little quiet at the DW! |
